The Hunger Games is the next book on my to-read list. I’ve been hearing all kinds of great reviews about this series. I haven’t seen the movie yet, and I don’t want to until after I read the book. I like to form a picture in my mind from what I read in the story instead of just taking and accepting what is given to me by Hollywood.
I’ve heard that there are a few blood and gore moments in the story. I know the short synopsis of the story, and I can’t imagine sending my children off every year to be slaughtered in some dumb competition for entertainment purposes. It seems pretty insane and barbaric if you ask me. Maybe there is more to it than what I’ve gleaned from the gossip I’ve heard. I guess I will find out after I read the story for myself.
